This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Football is a different animal. by The Beef

First, a lot of ticket jockeying goes on right before the game. Typically, there is not reliable cell service at home games. It’s going to be very difficult to parcel out tickets to family and friends at the tailgater. I don’t think I’ve been to a game in the past 30 years where we weren’t exchanging and trading tickets. I also haven’t been to a big game where my cell phone worked.

Second, call me crazy, but I just see this as another information grab. Now ND will know to whom I gave/sold my tix to. I guess I have nothing to hide, but you know they are going to use or sell the data and probably give it to pirates in a data hack.

Third, by not phasing this in with the general seating and offering a physical ticket option, they are asking for a shit show.
